Game Thread SEEDING GAME# 7: BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - AUGUST 11, 2020 - TUESDAY, 3:30, TNT & NBCSNW

[Strenuus]

GTJ's defense is so fucking good.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

LETS GO!!!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

When the Clippers get bounced from the playoffs PG probably becomes available for a trade again.

LOL It's true!

 

[Titan]

Yes more Nurk dunk2s please

 

[twobullz]

How was that not a foul on Hardaway. He hit Trent's arm on the follow through with his head.

Here he comes to the blazers.

Just kidding, I dont want him on this team.

 

[B-Roy]

CJ is a game low -9 in a game we are up by 8. Gary +20.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers need to come out strong in third quarter

 

[Labinot41]

Please please please please please no 3rd quarter meltdown

 

[Tince]

Whiteside provided some major minutes in the 1st half... happy to see that!

 

[tester551]

It's not that sad, GTJ can go cold and still contribute by being a plus defender but because CJ is a negative on D, he has to be hot to benefit the team.

Completely agree with your statement.

The "sad" part is that NO views CJ as a cornerstone of the franchise... who is getting outplayed by a 2nd round pick.

 

[Chris Craig]

Here he comes to the blazers.

Just kidding, I dont want him on this team.

No thanks. Probably the Lakers

 

[B-Roy]

I'd like to see Stotts just come out with GT in the 3rd here. But I know he's not, and we're probably losing the lead within 4 minutes.

 

[blazerkor]

Big time first half, we just gotta take this one home. Stay in front of PHX and SA, then get that last win against the Nets but one thing at a time... come up big in this third quarter.

 

[Serbian]

CJ and Nurk need to get their shit together

 

[twobullz]

Is it in Zach's contract he has to foul on at least one three point attempt per game?

 

[B-Roy]

All 4 teams vying for the 8th spot are all 20 games behind. JESUS

 

[Chris Craig]

How was that not a foul on Hardaway. He hit Trent's arm on the follow through with his head.

It was.

 

[Duckhook]

Carlisle threw 3 different looks to defend Dame and none worked... can’t wait to see no defensive changes at the half from Carlisle...

 

[Shaboid]

Can't lose the intensity we brought at the end of 1 and a lot of the 2nd. Dame is gonna keep attacking, we all know that.

 

[Serbian]

Is it in Zach's contract he has to foul on at least one three point attempt per game?

Zach has the lowest basketball IQ i have seen. He is not smart

 

[blazerkor]

The fact that the refs only blew the whistle on the Mavs 6 times is bullshit.

 

[wizenheimer]

Dallas has no answer for the Dame/Nurk PnR. I hope the Blazers are smart enough to ride that play until the Mavs adjust

and I hope CJ doesn't decide he needs to shoot himself out of his slump

 

[Chris Craig]

The fact that the refs only blew the whistle on the Mavs 6 times is bullshit.

Yeah, NBA doesn't want us to win

 

[blazerkor]

Can't lose the intensity we brought at the end of 1 and a lot of the 2nd. Dame is gonna keep attacking, we all know that.

I actually think they are going to try to take him away and he is going to punish them for a little bit with great passing.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

CJ is a game low -9 in a game we are up by 8. Gary +20.

Hey, those plus minus stats don't mean anything; just trust your eyes....if you can stand to watch him!

 

[MadeFromDust]

Now the question is how are we going to avoid the 3rd quarter crash?

 

[blazerkor]

Yeah, NBA doesn't want us to win

I don't know about the NBA but the refs are never giving us respect, it's crazy.

 

[theprunetang]

EVERYONE sees Hardaway run into Trent there at the end. Even fell on the floor as proof that he hit his head. I wonder what he might have hit his head on? Couldn't have been our player shooting a 3.

 

[B-Roy]

Hey, those plus minus stats don't mean anything; just trust your eyes....if you can stand to watch him!

I tracked every possession in that second quarter that was initiated by CJ. Even the ones that ended in good attempts didn't go in. I don't think there was one successful possession. And the only time CJ scored was off penetration by Dame.
